Our Pledge to a Sustainable Strategy
In our mission to build a better future for Myanmar, we firmly embed the principle of "Sustainability" at the core of our operations. It's intricately woven into every facet of our business, ranging from operational procedures to corporate culture and communication.
As part of our strategic commitments, we adhere to a set of guiding principles that primarily focus on treating our internal and external customers, along with the communities we serve, with utmost respect. We aim to utilize natural resources responsibly, thus fostering a spirit of long-term investment. It's imperative for us to evaluate how our business operations affect and benefit others from environmental, economic, and social perspectives. The path to sustainable development is paved by maintaining a harmonious balance between these key aspects.
Culture plays a pivotal role in establishing sustainability throughout our Bank's operations. We adhere to the principle of "setting the tone at the top". Our steadfast leadership and vibrant corporate culture foster an environment that encourages sustainable business practices throughout the Bank.

Our sustainability efforts revolve around three primary pillars – People, Profit, and Planet.
The Social Pillar
(For People)
The Social Pillar (For People) emphasizes business practices that enhance the health, safety, and well-being of people, encompassing all our stakeholders – employees, customers, partners, and local communities. This involves ensuring equitable access to natural resources and necessities like water, food, and clean air, while fostering a diverse, equitable, and inclusive organization, ensuring employee welfare, fair wages, gender equality, and the safety of workers and customers.
The Economic Pillar
(For Profit)
The Economic Pillar (For Profit) concentrates on long-term planning, governance, cost optimization, and transparency in our business operations. We give due consideration to the business models, policies, and practices that need to be implemented to ensure the survival and prosperity of our business as an economic entity that provides employment and economic opportunities for society.
The Environmental Pillar
(For Planet)
The Environmental Pillar (For Planet) aims to reduce environmental harm, protect the planet, and minimize the use of natural resources. The overarching goal is to halt the depletion of resources over time. This involves practices like waste management, reducing fossil fuel consumption, and promoting more sustainable consumer practices.
Social Sustainability
We are dedicated to expressing our commitment towards playing our part in crafting a sustainable future. Social sustainability serves as an indicator of community welfare and expanding opportunities for everyone, now and in the future. This encompasses fostering a workplace that is respectful, collaborative, and inclusive, promoting professional growth and development, and enabling us to attract, retain, and engage employees effectively.
